and its done in the guild hall after the workshop upgrade is first started.
Scribing is the black sheep of crafting professions… That who shall not be named!
It’s something useless because guilds don’t matter in this game and/or are starting to disappear because of the game itself…or the lack of “game”.
Don’t bother with it.
It’s a tacked on crafting profession that game designers at Arenanet implemented without considering its ramifications on WvW.
Scribing is a guild craft. You must have access to a guild hall in order to get the crafting station. The guild hall must be upgraded a lot to have access to the materials you’ll need to get anywhere with it. It also requires thousands of gold in its current state. Most of what you craft is decoration for the guild hall… plus guild banners and WvW stuff.
It is currently quite broken and I recommend you don’t pursue it. Maybe it will be better with the Spring Update. We’ll see.
